For the last couple days, Lwx has mentioned the possibility of partly sunny conditions tomorrow. That would be awesome.

Seeing and liking that as well.

This is going to be nearly impossible to complete. Changelog.....

Far too many things to list. But I will work on it. TBC.

Storm Mode update incoming....

It is impossible to encapsulate all of the features in a single image.

Maybe I should bring back the ha9000 emulator. You could talk to it and have it reply just stuff like all this "new" stuff. I did this in the 90's.

But way more basic....

Q: What time is it?

A: It is 8:57 p.m.

Q: How are you?

A: I am good, KAOS. All systems are operational.

BTW... most phones/tablets/browser have a way to create an "app" from a url address. Usually an option like "add to home screen". This way your screen real estate is not consumed by the url bar etc.

Basically full screen mode for phones, etc.

Equivalent to F11 on desktop/laptop.

Something like this...

Or this...

With proper settings, only the app will fill the screen.

View in landscape mode.

Those are my mobile tips.

I will now add some additional complexity. Since I am not constrained by the typically limited hardware and data resources available to most mobile devices.

Update:  fixed issue with radar icon button link (local radar slide in emulator). Was not passing geo info from currently selected emulator location...which then prompted setting menu for location.

Existing links are updated. No user interaction required.

NOTE: In almost all cases you can continue to use the same previously provided links...automatically updated. Though you may need to clear your browser cache.

Waiting for... "Now I am even more confused."
